If the UK is anything like Germany then my answer would be that my t-shirt sales half over the winter period. But sweats and hoodies sell more, not in such great quantity but the margin is better. Polos stay the same all year round for me as most is sold as workwear.

The t-shirt market in the UK is huge and there are some very large companies printing t-shirts 24 hours a day all year round.

It is also (in my opinion) a very saturated market. For example, I have one client who wanted me to take on printing garments they supplied, they were looking to pay £1.70 for a transfer each side of a standard tee (FLB and large back). I politely declined :-)

If you are looking at printing your own designs then the market is sort of irrelevant, people will either like your wares and subsequently purchase them, or they wont.
